Parler Paris Après Midi

Emily Borel taught us all how to Keep Calm and Carry On. She's an American who is a Shiatsu specialist certified at the Ecole de Shiatsu André Nahum à Paris, working with clients for the past 13 years. She is also a Conseillère Agréé en Fleurs de Bach from the the Bach Flower Foundation in England, and was initiated in the three levels of Reiki. Emily knows how to keep you calm and that's exactly what she did!

She went around the room and asked everyone to say a bit about themselves including what gives them stress and how it manifests itself. It was an interesting overview of what brings on tension and one thing for sure -- retired folks have a lot less stress than those still in the workforce!

Emily gave us all an introduction to the benefits of shiatsu, meditation and other forms of relaxation techniques to rid our lives of stress. She had the entire group on their feet and doing exercises that put us all into such a state of relaxation that we forgot what time it was and stayed long after 5 p.m. It was seriously fun and enlightening!
